About the adventure

Welcome to Baldur's Gate, a city of ambition and corruption. You've just started your adventuring career, but already find yourself embroiled in a plot that sprawls from the shadows of Baldur's Gate to the front lines of the planes-spanning Blood War! Do you have what it takes to turn infernal war machines and nefarious contracts against the archdevil Zariel and her diabolical hordes? And can you ever hope to find your way home safely when pitted against the infinite evils of the Nine Hells? This game will run once a week. Skipping is rare but could happen with everyone's agreement.

About me

Hey there! I'm deeply immersed in the world of tabletop roleplaying games, with over 15 years of experience in Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder. My journey began in a cozy local game store where I eagerly participated in RPG nights, immersing myself in fantastical realms and epic adventures. Around a decade ago, I took a leap of faith into the role of Dungeon Master (DM), feeling a mix of nerves and excitement. Little did I know that this decision would shape my passion and expertise in storytelling and world-building. As a DM, I found immense joy in crafting intricate narratives, designing challenging encounters, and witnessing the creativity of my fellow players as we collectively explored new horizons. Expanding beyond Dungeons & Dragons, I delved into the rich tapestry of Pathfinder, embracing the intricacies of its ruleset and the boundless possibilities it offers. As a Game Master (GM) in Pathfinder, I've honed my skills in improvisation, strategic thinking, and fostering a collaborative atmosphere where every player's voice is heard and valued. For me, tabletop RPGs aren't just games; they're portals to limitless imagination and camaraderie. Whether we're battling dragons in the depths of a dungeon or negotiating with powerful factions in a bustling city, every session is a journey into the unknown, fueled by friendship and shared storytelling.
